Keel Tightening

[Lou Gentile]

Does anyone know the size of the fastening nuts on the keel bolts, on my 1984 Catalina 30. Also, how many ft. lbs., should they be torqued to.Since the boat is out of the water and blocked, I think this may be a good time to check this area.All comments and replies are much appreciated.

call Catalina

I called Catalina and they gave me the tourqe spec for my C27 keel bolts. I had to replace the nuts on mine. They faxed me the info for installing new keel bolts and how to reglass around the keel joint. I'd have to search but I may be able to find the name of the guy that helped me.
